A late call
Based on real facts.
It’s not exactly how it happened.
Actually, my mom first asked me where I am, if I ate for dinner, where do I stay, where do I sleep, and then she asked me if Nico taught me to smoke. And then she hung up the phone.
She really talks a lot, my mom.

a huge “thank you” towards a wonderful and beautiful lady, =MarinaCoric, who granted me permission to use one of her photos as a reference image. You can find the original picture here: [link]
Thanks, Marina!

and on the worn book of old-golden song
i brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
and freshen in this air of withering sweetness;
but on the memor of one absent, most,
for whom these lines when they shall greet her eye.
